Wheel
French Roulette
Single zero plus La Partage — the friendliest edge on the felt.
French roulette uses the same 37-pocket wheel as the European game but adds La Partage: when the ball lands on zero, even-money bets lose only half the stake instead of all of it.
That single rule cuts the house edge on red, black, odd, even, high and low to about 1.35%, the best value available on a roulette table anywhere.
How to play, step by step
- 01Check the table card for La Partage or En Prison before you sit down — the rules are what make this version worth playing.
- 02Cover even-money bets to take advantage of the half-loss rule on zero.
- 03Read your dealer's call on zero: half the stake returns on La Partage, or the bet is held over to the next spin under En Prison.
Common strategies
None of these change the house edge. They change how long your bankroll lasts and how violently it swings.
Stay on even-money bets
La Partage only applies to the outside even-money bets. Inside bets keep the full 2.70% edge, so the value of this table is entirely in red, black, odd, even, high and low.
Track the half-loss in your budget
A zero does not wipe an outside bet, it halves it. Log it properly in your session record or the bankroll curve will lie to you.
Avoid pressing after a zero
The half-loss tempts players to double up and win it back. The edge has not changed; the spin is as random as the last one.
